After leaving an abusive relationship, Ria helped me negotiate a fair and comprehensive custody agreement with my daughters Dad. She was kind, listened to everything I had to say and directed me to an agreement we both agreed with. I would highly recommend FLG.

One of the best! Communication is clear and always available when needing assistance or help to understand processes! Can’t praise these Solicitors enough.

I was supported by two professionals to obtain an order, at an extremely difficult time. They both showed professionalism, kindness and understanding all whilst focussing on the task in hand. I’m truly grateful for their time and effort.

Just amazing person with great knowledge

I've worked with Ria for my two court appearances. She supported throughout the process including applying for legal aid. She understood me and communicate d very well with me in compiling all the evidence that was required. She was very patient with me and explained everything in a simple language that I could understand. She was always there to calm me down during my moment of anxiety. I don't hesitate to recommend her to anyone going through difficult family matters.

I can’t recommend Ria highly enough. She supported me throughout what was a very difficult and stressful family court case, and from start to finish I always felt that I had someone knowledgeable, professional and genuinely supportive in my corner. Ria was approachable, understanding and always took the time to explain things clearly, particularly when I was unsure about the court process or what to expect next. She gave me straightforward and realistic advice rather than making promises about outcomes, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was that I never felt like I was simply another case. Ria understood how important the situation was to me and my family, and I always felt that my concerns were listened to and taken seriously. Having that reassurance and guidance made a huge difference during some very stressful periods. The case ultimately reached a conclusion that gave my children much-needed stability, and I’m extremely grateful for the work Ria put in throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ria to anyone needing a solicitor for family matters. Thank you for everything you did for me and my family.
